Reactive Monomeric Carbonic Acid Derivatives

Abstract

AbstractMonomeric carbonic acid derivatives that can react by addition or substitution are systematically discussed according to the three tabular surveys A, B, and C, from which a principle for the classification of carbonic acid derivatives can be readily deduced. For each type of compound, a brief description is given first of the principal syntheses and then of the reactions, and the heterocycles obtainable by addition, disubstitution, or coupled addition‐substitution are also considered. The carbonic acid derivatives discussed can be synthesized from very simple and in most cases cheap base chemicals.
